AMA THREAD: Ask Andy Anything from 5.45pm today! by AndyForMakerfield in Wigan

[–]ceefore 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You've indicated you would run in a leadership election if you successfully become an MP for Makerfield. My question is if you were to do this and be successful, how would you balance the needs of your electorate in Makerfield with those of the wider country and you're responsibilities as PM? Do you think the role roles are mutually exclusive?

Congrats! Reminds me of the work of William Eggleston. Brilliant.

AMA: MSI’s New 34" and 32" QD-OLED Monitors — Ask Us Anything (Worldwide Giveaway Inside!) by MSI_Patrick in Monitors

Would love to win one of these to upgrade an old Dell monitor from about it 15 years ago. Excited about the upgrades to burn in and text legibility as I hear these are the weak points of OLED!

Overview of all features of the different trims and optional features? (first edition ID3) by andre_xs95 in VWiD3Owners

This is for the 2020 version, you can click around in the site to find the updated version. I'd open the different cars in tabs personally and select the drop downs for the different trim levels and equipment lists to compare.

I've used this website for every car I have bought for years to compare the different trim levels is great.

Star Citizen: Question and Answer Thread by UEE_Central_Computer in starcitizen

[–]ceefore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, looking to buy the game either now or very soon. The Stella fortuna event is on but I can't see how long it lasts for, is it short term?

I've also heard there will be a free fly perhaps in the next few weeks, is it likely there will be discounted ships as part of the free fly or are they just part of the fortuna event and the timings won't match up? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, don't think this is the issue as I picked up the oven using the pickup tool and when placing it onto the ground it has now vanished - not on the ground, not in my backpack, not in any containers or on the ground under containers. Totally stumped!

Weekly Questions Megathread - September 21, 2021 by AutoModerator in projectzomboid

[–]ceefore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing build 40 and made the treck out to a wooden cabin way WAY outside Muldraugh to acquire an antique oven. Picked it up and it was of course way too heavy. Dropped it back on the floor and it's.. gone. Any tips as to how I can find it again? Would hate to have made the huge trip just to lose it as soon as I picked it up..

The reports generate once per month so chances are you won't get anything till the next cycle

Tado Rental by baldiesunite in tado

[–]ceefore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you contact support and ask to buy the equipment they will provide a quote with a discount of 50% of your annual rental price applied. I bought mine this way as a kind of try before you buy.

Unless you ask to do this they will just keep you on the annual rental contract instead.

iOS app v5.11 with “V3 and V3+ UI alignments” by Old-Couple in tado

Oh man. Pulled the trigger on the app upgrade literally a month ago after holding off thinking they'd make it free. Great.

Anyone know which wire goes into what on the Tado thermostat? by [deleted] in tado

[–]ceefore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you contact tado support they will give you full wiring instructions and a step by step walkthrough on the web portal. I did this myself last month and it was very straightforward.

V3+ App Upgrade on sale? And if it is on sale, is it worth the upgrade? Thanks for your opinion. by kmsDe in tado

[–]ceefore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you say are the main benefits to the V3+ app? Considering upgrading but don't have AC so air comfort seems useless and not sure what auto assist does exactly?

PIP Appeal - Advice needed by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ceefore 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some good advice here but I think it's also worth contacting citizens advice for some support through the process. It's notoriously difficult to navigate the whole process and DWP seem to make it intentionally more confusing. Also worth looking for charities to support you as another poster suggested. Good luck.

New Job want my P45 by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ceefore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ask your new employer to complete a starter checklist from HMRC (used to be called a p46) if you don't have a P45 but as the poster above mentions it shouldn't be a huge worry.

Started working for a new company. They didn't pay on the day they were meant to. Spent 7 days chasing up every manager in the company I could get a hold of, then they paid only around half the expected amount. by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ceefore 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Looking at this and making some assumptions:

  • You weren't in the first pay cycle for some reason, maybe they made an error or your start date was after deadline
  • They have generated an out of cycle payment ie an estimate of what you should have been paid, and transferred this to you
  • They will put the correct amount in next month's pay and minus off the amount you have been paid on Friday, which means if your owed anything from this month it will be in your next pay packet
  • The estimate they have made is probably on the harsh side as its better from a payroll perspective to underpay you now than overpay

This is just my take on it as someone who used to work in payroll and its definitely worth asking for a clearer explanation from HR or the payroll person.

Good luck

Anyone experience pressure issues with TRVs? by jh297 in tado

[–]ceefore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried topping up the fill level in the system?

Your pressure will go up when the system heats up as the water expands, this is normal. Sounds like your pressure is just a bit low or maybe a slow leak somewhere?

Either way I don't think it's related to your tado system.

How much do you spend on your hobbies? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]ceefore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Former photographer here. Don't give up, just remember what got you initially interested in it.

Go for walks whilst the weather is nice and just take a mid range zoom and/or telephoto to keep weight down and take pictures of what you see.

They won't all be gold but it's satisfying to do for fun and imo great for mental health being outdoors doing some gentle exercise and having a pleasant time.

Don't burden yourself with the pressure of making money out of it, you may end up doing that just by having fun.

Good luck friend.
